Legions of RTS fans have been keeping their eyes on Empires Apart since it was first announced.

It has been in closed Beta since September 2017 and the developers from DESTINYbit have been working hard to make it the RTS game they always wanted to play. After collecting the invaluable feedback of several thousand testers who took part in the Beta, we’re now getting closer and closer to release.

After the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC, the Roman Republic found itself in mortal danger. The infighting that followed eventually saw the end of the Republic and the birth of the Principate, with Octavianus Augustus sole ruler of the newly-established Roman Empire.

Victory after victory, the Empire slowly expanded, reaching its maximum extent in 117 AD. But dominance couldn't be held forever. Internal and external threats undermined stability in the centuries that followed. To ease administration, the empire was eventually divided into western and eastern halves, each with its own emperor. Under the constant pressure of large Germanic confederations, the western half eventually collapsed, and in 476 AD the last western emperor was deposed.
